A ritzy Dallas suburb is spending $70 million to build a new high-school football stadium because, as the Los Angeles Times reports, “the students deserve it.” Also because a town nearby just built a $60 million stadium.

A spokesman for the school district justified the price tag, telling the Times that wealthy communities need amenities to attract home buyers, and a high-school stadium, which will cost twice as much as Shea Stadium did when it was built, is one of those amenities.
